Yesterday, we talked about how netbooks and HDTVs will go against each other for this holiday season for the supremacy during the year-end holiday season. Amazon has just pushed itself into the discussion by introducing an international version its e-book reader (Kindle 2.o) that lets you connect to the Internet and download content whether you are in the U.S., the UK or a whole lot of other countries around the world.

It’s nice to see Amazon stepping up and introducing a service that will make Amazon Kindle a decent alternative to netbooks in the upcoming shopping season. But does this move open the market to International wireless netbooks? A lot of bundled netbooks come with limited wireless services. As long as you are in the U.S., you can get connected to the Internet using your adapter. But what if you decide to go to other countries? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get wireless coverage wherever you are.

Amazon Kindle is limited as far as what people can do on it. It’s not designed to be used for heavy duty work on the Internet. Kindle is not a Facebook/Twitter device either. So it’s easy for Amazon to get this plan working all around the world. Verizon and other carriers do have global wireless plans, but they’ll cost you a lot more. For instance, Verizon’s global wireless plans for netbooks are not that affordable.

Unfortunately, the jury is still out on wireless netbook bundles. And since the global wireless prices are not too consumer friendly, it’ll be hard for the average Joe to take advantage of these plans. Let’s hope these plans become more affordable in the future, but something tells me we shouldn’t hold our breath.
